Well said. When I've tried to explain this, they always reply 'no, it's the haters' fault', but it's actually the MDL rating system's doing. It's obvious this show suffers from said system + the wrong blurb, hence low rating. I wanted to watch this drama because the previous blurb was my cup of tea, but now I will just wait until it's finished and then decide if I watch or not.

Damn, that's disappointing. Like... I don't see why they cannot used their own hands, seriously, lol. Thanks, btw!

Hand doubles? Like when they hold hands or something they use other people's hands? I've never heard of that before.

I think they toned it down a bit here because in the novel, Khem cries a lot more and needs to be rescued all the time, lol.

No, Peem's past lives are barely mentioned. The only one they talk about a little more is when Peem was a naga (a demigod). The book mainly focuses on the present, on the protagonists' relationship (everything we've seen so far) and the final battle, so to speak, with Ramphueng. Even Khem's past lives as Khammika and Krongkwan are only developed as much as needed through flashbacks, but nothing more.
And if I'm not mistaken, Peem was not part of that life when the whole issue with Ramphueng happened.

I don't remember the details well, but in the book, it's implied that they are destined to meet and fall in love. Peem never compares Khemjira to Khemmika; he has a deeper understanding of life and death and past lives (he can remember all his past lives, he just chooses not to, preferring to live in the present). I suppose that's why it might seem strange to readers and viewers that he doesn't make the comparison between them. On the other hand, Khemjira is a bit more affected when he finds out about his life as Khemmika. However, we should also consider that Khem was attracted to Peem from the very beginning, and his feelings only intensified once he recalled his past. But anway, to sum up, neither compares the other with his past self.

She isn't Peem's fiancée. She is a ghost from an older life, a life even older than when Khemjira was "Khemika," from a time when there were still slaves. To make a long story short, Ramphueng (the ghost) was taken as a wife by an important landowner for her beauty and kindness. This landowner wanted a male heir, but his first wife couldn't get pregnant. When Ramphueng finally had a son, the first wife, full of jealousy and resentment for having lost her own child, orchestrated everything and had Ramphueng's newborn baby killed in the lake. All of this was witnessed by Khem, who in that life was a little girl whose mother was another slave-turned-wife, I think. When the landowner returned from his trip and found out what happened, the first wife made everyone believe that it was Ramphueng who killed her own child. When Ramphueng asked little Khem to tell the truth, she lied because she was afraid of the first wife and knew that she could kill both her and her mother. In the end, Ramphueng was beaten to death, but before she died, she cursed everyone in the family: the men would die young and the women would never find happiness with their loved ones.

I read somewhere that in the novel, Peem is in his early thirties and Khem is like 19 or 20. But in the show, the author prefered that they made Peem younger. My guess is that he's like 25-27 or so, if we keep in mind those flashbacks when they are children.

That or they are being purposefully dense. I think it's the latter.

First, no, it wouldn't. They all look just as fake and some are even quite silly, to say the least. And second, the protagonist of this drama also has that tight hairstyle, just like some of those images.

It's probably the MDL system, it happens all the time. Over the course of a few days, new dramas typically start with very high ratings. Then they drop. And then they rise again, taking into account all the votes so far.

She gets better, really. She loves with the same intensity that she hates.

It gets worse, lol. But don't fret, she redeems herself after that.

Wait until you get to episode 26, lol.

Really? I never heard there was going to be a trilogy.

I remember the female lead did that to him when he was in disguise, around episode 12 I think. But I never watched a scene where the male lead did the same to her.

I'm genuinely curious, are the people who comment and compare this drama to Prisoner of Beauty simply unaware, or are they being deliberately obtuse? You shouldn't come here expecting anything like that because the trailer and synopsis pretty clearly state that the FL is a contemporary girl that comes from the real world. They are not going to act the same way. If people cannot figure out something so simple, they should read more books and watch less dramas. Stop comparing those two dramas. God knows how boring POB was and what a disaster was the last part but nobody goes to its drama's section to compare it with A Dream Whitin a Dream and drag it down.

What do you mean? You wanted to see the previews for ep 13-14 and I just showed you where you could watch them for free. If you were expecting something else, I cannot help you with that.

No, they are always free, you can check them.
